How Yankees are handling Jasson Dominguez’s left field woes
Tampa – Jasson Domínguez's experiment on the left field doesn't go anywhere, even if the 22-year-old doesn't look that comfortable in that position yet. “He doesn't play a lot of left field,” said Brian Cashman general manager before making another start Thursday with an 8-4 defeat to the Stein Brenner Field twins. “My impression [of […]
Yankees enter sad but familiar territory with DJ LeMahieu injury update
TAMPA – DJ Lemahieu's MRI showed that his calf injury thought he was. That's good and bad for the Yankees veteran three bases.

Yankees prospect George Lombard Jr., 19, is already wowing Aaron Judge
Clearwater, Fla. — Ask anyone in the Yankees organization about almost every promising young outlook, and inevitably they lead the conversation towards George Lombard Jr. The 19-year-old has stood out throughout the spring, and this time he got another opportunity Tuesday against the Phillies and right-handed Zack Wheeler.

Will Warren’s hard-learned Yankees lessons could be soon put to use
Clearwater, Fla. — Will Warren faced the almost identical Phillies lineup that he made on Tuesday in his MLB debut seven months ago.

Trent Grisham returns from injury with chance for expanded Yankees role
TAMPA – Trent Grisham arrived for spring training behind most of his teammates due to hamstring tension, but he had a good time to catch up.

Tony Clark pushes back on Hal Steinbrenner’s $300M Yankees concern
TAMPA – There's nothing like talking about the CBA to dampen spring training, especially if it appears that baseball could head towards another work stoppage after the latest agreement expires after the 2026 season. But that's a sporting place. Commissioner Rob Manfred and MLBPA executive director Tony Clark are ready to head into the season. […]
Yankees’ Aaron Boone doesn’t hide his thoughts on robot umpires
Northport, Fla. – Until more than a week of automated ball strike system (ABS) experiments, Aaron Boone is not a fan. The oldest baseball in the major leagues uses the ABS Challenge System (providing two challenges per game to review the ball or strike call) – The regular season is next year, but teams will […]
Paul Goldschmidt adjusting to new-look Yankees infield
TAMPA – After the worst season of his major league career, Paul Goldschmidt has continued some of his approach work this spring, closing 2024 with a positive note.
